Prof. John F. Downey delivered free
lecture to the students at the Oliyet Bap-
tlst church last night on the subject, Too
Fast and Too Slow: or Extremes and EX-
tremists," for the benefit of the Delta Sigma
Literary society.
Dissensions in the senior class threaten
to Interfere with the class day exercises.
A committee OF the faculty is discuss
ing the subject of better ventilation. The
committee will earn the gratitude of all the
students if it succeeds in devising a
scheme for letting fresh air into the rooms
without making draft. The old part Of
the building, where the ceilings are low, is
particularly faulty in this respect.
Rev. Mr. Farnham, of the Olivet Baptist
church. led the chapel exercises on Wednes-
day and Rev. Graham c. Campbell, gradu-
ate Of ~. conducted them Friday.
The students are invited to attend lee
ture tonight on Some Phases of Mormon
ISM by Miss Lydia Tichnor Church, at the
First Congregational church.
A Liberal league has been formed among
some OF the students for the discussion of
atheistical questions.
The faculty Cat its last meeting decided
to ask the regents to add college of min
ing engineering to the university, which
it thinks could be accomplished at the eX-
pense Of $4,000. The excessive need of
another course in ngineering may be seen
by the tact that in the classes Of 'S7 and 'SS
eight only out Of fifty-fve take an engineer
ing course. Possibly four or five more
could be added by introducing new course
While all this is being proposed. the neees-
sites of the literary students are being
almost entirely overlooked. Large addi-
tionS are needed to bring the library up to
the standard which the university ought to
have. Also the efficiency of the classical
department could be increased by plaster
casts, maps, Illustrations, etc.

ship between hogs and dogs? 4 few
weeks ago slut of the shepherd species be-
longing to Mr.. Johnathan Spiya, living
eight miles south of Houston, No., became
the proud and affectionate mother of si3
promising and beautiful puppies. The
mother, according to the creed of mothers,
was exceedingly proud Of her little blind
folded progeny.
A few days later, in order to prepare the
little fellows for more congenial exist
ence, the owner, stickler for infant bap.
tlsmal rights took five of the little fellows
and gave them an eternal submersion i'll a
gentle brook that meandered near the
house. The mother was left to mourn hel
bereavement with only one puppy on whom
to lavish all her stores of maternal affec-
ton.
At this awkward juncture lone, solitary
pig of exceeding juvenile appearance ar
rived at Mr.. Spiya'S residence. His mother
had probably grown too fat on the mast.
and in an evil moment faded away from the
forest and dropped into an everlasting
snooze in some Isolated smoke-house. The
pig at once took up lodgings with
the shepherd mother. She seemed tc

Qren returned. lie was recognized and
welcomed as a brother of the remaining
pup. Since his arrival he has drawn his
ratiOns from the canine mothers IacteaI de
posits. The pup and pig follow the mother
wherever she goes. When the pigs squeal-
ing demands become vexingly persistent
she falls on her side, and pup and pig are
accommodated. as if she were the natural
mother Of both.
The shepherd seems as fond of the pig as
she is OF her own offspring, not seeming tC
recognize any difference between them. Il
the pig wanders away from her she follows
him up and exercises over him the closest
material regard. If any one chooses tc
doubt this story it can be verified by dozen

question: woman never thinks of crowd
ing herself to give another woman room to
sit down. She will sometimes move along
to give another person a seat, but he is gen.
orally man, a young man at that, and her
young man in particular. She is actuated
in doing this by two impulses. First, she
is enabled to still further impose upon the
good nature of the man who gave up his
seat to her by giving part of it to another
man. and, secondly, she is enabled
to keep her young man with her
so he cannot escape. You would
think that a man would sometimes rebel
